\"Deer<\/a>

Deer photo, shot with digital camera set on the ‘sports’ setting.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

While I was in New Hampshire, zooming around the state with one of my best all time friends, I actually learned something.<\/p>\n

First, when photos in a semi dark restaurant came out blurry, my cousin wondered why I didn’t use a setting that fixed that.<\/p>\n

Later, when my friend spotted something and took a photo from the passenger’s seat of my moving vehicle, I asked him if he wanted me to pull over or stop so he could get a steadier shot, he replied, “Oh no- I use the sports setting. It freezes motion.”<\/p>\n

Shortly after that I had a “Well -duh!” moment and realized that my camera did have the same type of setting and I had found a broad range of specialized settings, (Like “Night Time”, “Sunset”, “cuisine”, and so on) almost by accident. I had originally breezed through the instruction booklet and only read in depth what I needed to know immediately, like how to put the battery and SD Card in and get those right… But- yeah, the night time setting does came in handy. And now the sports setting… yum.<\/p>\n

Look carefully beyond the young deer to the left of the others (with his or her head twisted around to see what I was up to). There is something white under the branch of the evergreen back there.<\/p>\n

\"That<\/a>

This is a telephoto shot. Not extreme, but I did not use a tripod or hold my breath until my head exploded.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

The white deer in the photo above is usually hanging way back behind the normally coloured deer in this group. He or she is a bit more spooky than most and it is hard to get a photo of this guy (or gal), especially when surrounded by white snow. (( One shot that Cathi got, somebody looked at the white deer and said, “Ah come on- that’s a goat.” No it isn’t.<\/p>\n

\"Family<\/a>

Another telephoto shot. Again, I’m happy with the results and I did not have to take half a dozen shots before I got one steady enough.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

Yes, I could have used this setting before. My life would have been a bit less stressful. My ‘Professional’ self critical sense a lot less active, my frustration levels less acute.<\/p>\n

See? It’s good to have friends.<\/p>\n

(Imagine your favourite smiley face here.)<\/p>\n
